“In a mad race to nowhere,how many of us stop and look around ? And even the one who do,how many do actually show compassion towards someone? Are we really humans or walking machines? We don't have time to stop and think as to why a certain person is acting the way he is. Instead of showing some compassion or sympathy in stressful situation,we end up being cold and sadly that's what we do the best. The generation of today has sufficient time for social networks but little for social grace. I belong to this generation , and I plead guilty.”
